Movie propaganda

Back from their honeymoon, Shrek (Mike Myers) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are summoned to meet her parents, the King (John Cleese) and Queen (Julie Andrews) of Far Far Away. Shrek is against the idea, fearing his in-laws will react badly to having an ogre for son in law. And he's right. On arrival, things go very badly with the older Royals, the King takes out a contract on Shrek with the infamous assassin Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). And he also enlists the scheming Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) who sets about putting things wrong with a plot that will have Fiona fall in love with Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) - her son.

Theatrical report

Hee, hee, hee! Shrek 2 is a hoot!

You can argue amongst your friends as to whether it's better or not as good as the first one but whatever the outcome of the discussion, you'll have a big laugh while watching it. There are a lot of contemporary references (almost all of it is set in Los Angeles - masquerading as the enchanted land of Far Far Away) but they're funny because they're coming out of animated characters' mouths. Funny that. Enjoy!
